Hello All, That very un-Steve-Miller-like tune was played on a MK-II in the studio.

Same as Al Kooper's ,"NYC You're A Woman" ,which featured Tron on 3-4 more
selections from LP of the same name.

I'll have to differ with the opinion about EJ's "Daniel." I distinctively recognize
certain
Tron flute keys during that song. It cannot be only ARP. True,there's ARP over/with
Tron.
For those of you with M400 flutes,listen to middle F ,then go downscale to B,in key
of C .
Gotta be one and the same ,guys!  Pierre Veilleux played a beautiful rendition of
"Daniel"
on his MK-V, vibes on LH keys and flute on RH keys. Superb!

I'd like to hear various opinions on "Daniel" from youse-guys out-there in
Melly-land.
Or did I use too much of Jon Anderson's hemp-rope??.....Cheers, JK (Mellotron
Nutter)

Jerry,

Do you know who played the tron on "Children Of The Future?" My CD 
has no info at all.

Daniel most definitely contains Mellotron flute.
